Damnesia

My neurons don't communicate these days
Disconnected, fail to reminisce
On conversations treasured
And peacock dawns like this.

I'm divorced from memories it seems;
My mind, she angrily lets me go!
Tears up my recollections and my dreams,
Throws out the names and tasks I need to know.

To focus is a struggle.
The deeds of days deleted as they pass.
The messages and contacts I used to juggle
Seem like foggy figures in misted glass

Sometimes the fight is wearing - I get tired.
And now the choice is coming: Forget. Remember.
Do I leave my mind behind, happily unwired,
To let my pasts all burn out to fevered ember?

What's left of me is pleased to meet you - hi!
But brain cells seems to sift away like sands
Do I know you? And by the way, who am I?
I'm sinking - hope my family understands.

I wander, room to room, forgetting why I'm there,
Phasing out as people talk to me, unheard.
Their syllables melt in numb, amnesiac air,
And.....

What was I saying?

So sad, breaks my heart to see it 😰

This echoes of alzeimers, it is very real please tell me it isn't from personal experience. A clever and touching write my friend👏?

Awesome write mate. I often hear of new groundbreaking trials of new drugs and stem cell research hope they can find a cure someday. It must be the worst feeling in the world to see someone you deteriorate before your eyes 😢

Love ☝
